Lyrics:
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
'Cause [Bm]I am just a [A]girl, [G]little ol' [A]me
[Bm]Don't let me [A]out of your [G]sight[A]
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl, all [G]pretty and [A]petite
So [Bm]don't let me [A]have any [G]rights[A]
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
'Cause [Bm]I am just a [A]girl
I'd [G]rather not [A]be
'Cause they [Bm]won't let me [A]drive
Late at [G]night[A]
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl
Guess I'm [G]some kind of [A]freak
'Cause they [Bm]all sit and [A]stare
With their [G]eyes[A]
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl
Take a [G]good look at [A]me
Just your [Bm]typical [A]prototype[G] [A]
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
G C (G and C muted)
Oh...I am making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl, living [G]in captivi[A]ty
Your rule of [Bm]thumb
Makes me [A]worry [G]some[A]
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl, [G]what's my desti[A]ny?
What I've s[Bm]uccumbed to
Is [A]making me [G]numb[A]
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl, my [G]apolo[A]gies
What I've [Bm]become is [A]so burden[G]some[A]
[Bm]I'm just a [A]girl, [G]lucky [A]me
Twiddle-[Bm]dum there's [A]no compa[G]rison[A]
G C (G's and C's muted throughout)
Oh...I've had it up to!
[G]Oh...I've [C]had it up to!
[G]Oh...I've [C]had it up to [Bm]here!
(slow down on the last G and let the final Bm ring out)
I don't have the album with me right now, so the timing for the
chorus may be a little off. If there are any corrections or comments
send them to: jlupo@eden.rutgers.edu
thank you
